摘要

The Burst Alert telescope (BAT) is one of 3 instruments on the Swift MIDEX spacecraft to study gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The BAT instrument is the instrument that first detects the GRB and localizes the burst directiont o an accuracy of 1-4 arcmin within 10 sec after the start of the event. These locations cause the spacecraft to autonomously slew to point the two narrow-FOV instruments at the burst location within 20-70 sec to make follow-up x-ray and optical observations. BAT is a wide-FOC coded-aperture instrument with a CdZnTe detector plane. The detector plane is composed of 32,768 pieces of CdZnTe (4x4x2mm), and the coded-aperture mask is composed of approx50,000 piexes of lead (5x5x1mm) with a 1-m separation between mask and detector plane. The BAT operates voer the 10-150 keV energy range with approx7 keV resolution a sensitivity of 0.2 ph/cm~2-sec, and a 1.4 sr (half-coded) FOV. We expect to detectapprox300 GRBs/yr for a 3-year msision. The BAT also performs an all-sky hard x-ray survey with a sensitivity of appxor 1 mCrab (systematic limit) and as a hard x-ray transient monitor.
